Definitions
- the invention relates to a high shear stable aqueous fluoropolymer coating composition, preferably using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), such as KYNAR® PVDF, suitable for high performance coating applications.
- PVDF polyvinylidene fluoride
- the composition is based on a high shear stable fluoropolymer emulsion having small particle size, blended with an acrylic polymer additive.
- the use of this composition allows high bake PVDF water-base coatings which can be applied on variety of substrates such as metal or ceramic surfaces, and in the impregnation of textiles, glass, carbon or aramid fibers, etc.
- the dry coating formed from the coating composition of the invention exhibits improved gloss, crack resistance, chemical resistance, hot dirt pick up resistance and other improved properties.
- PVDF polyvinylidene fluoride
- High performance coatings formulated from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer resins are known to provide good solvent resistance, chemical resistance, weather resistance, heat stability, strength and resilience.
- PVDF solvent-base coatings e.g. KYNAR 500 ®
- US 8,093,329 and US 7,399,533 describe coating compositions based on non-aqueous dispersions of solid PVDF particles in an organic solution of acrylic polymers.
- the coating compositions contain PVDF powders, organic solvents, acrylic polymers, and optionally pigments and colorants. After baking the coating above the PVDF melting temperature, a homogenous blend of PVDF and acrylic phase is formed which provides the coating with durability and other essential properties such as gloss, adhesion, solvent resistance, and weatherability.
- PVDF-based paints commonly contain high levels of organic solvents, which are needed to dissolve acrylics and disperse PVDF. These organic solvents are typically classified as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and are often regulated in their use.
- VOCs volatile organic compounds
- the organic-solvent-based slurry presents safety, health and environmental dangers that are not present in an aqueous system.
- Organic solvents are generally toxic and flammable, volatile in nature, and involve special manufacturing controls to mitigate risk and reduce environmental pollution from the organic solvent.
- a large carbon footprint is associated with use of organic solvents that is not environmentally desirable. Further, extra manufacturing steps, costing time, money, and energy are involved to isolate PVDF formed in an aqueous media, drying the PVDF to a powder, and then dissolving/dispersing the powder in a solvent.
- binder systems that are compatible with current manufacturing practices and provide desired properties of the intermediate and final products.
- Some common criteria include: a) stability of the waterborne fluoropolymer dispersion, having sufficient shelf-life, b) compatibility with acrylic latexes c) stability of the slurry after admixing the powdery materials and pigments, and d) appropriate viscosity of the slurry to facilitate good aqueous casting. Additionally, from a regulatory view, fluoropolymers made without fluorosurfactants are preferred.
- PVDF emulsions generally provide particle diameters above about 250 nm.
- emulsions have reduced colloidal stability and are highly unstable when neutralized, or used under high shear conditions such as in a spray application.
- One means to provide a stable, aqueous PVDF composition is through fluoropolymer and acrylic hybrid compositions made by a sequential emulsion polymerization process, as taught in US5804650 and US2011/0118403. These hybrid compositions involve the polymerization of acrylic monomer(s) in the presence of a fluoropolymer seed resin, producing the PVDF/acrylic hybrid emulsion.
- This aqueous hybrid composition can not be used at high baking condition due to the phase separation at elevated temperature (e.g. beyond 150°C).
- the coating based on this hybrid latex requires a complicated polymerization processes while exhibiting inferior chemical resistance and hot dirt pick up resistance compare to this disclosure.
- US3301807 describes an aqueous dispersion of PTFE fluoropolymers containing non-ionic surfactants where the fluoropolymer was made by using per- fluorinated surfactants.
- US 6,696,512 describes fluoropolymer, and especially PTFE, aqueous dispersions made with fluorosurfactants, and having particle sizes of 240 microns and larger.

- Aqueous-based dispersions have been combined with powdery electrode forming materials and applied to electroconductive materials to form electrodes, as described in US 2010-0304270.
- a high shear stable aqueous fluoropolymer coating composition has been found, that is useful in high-bake coating applications.
- the fluoropolymer coating combines a fluoropolymer and a specific acrylic polymer to form a composition that is stable at high-bake temperatures of 200°C, and is shear stable under high shear forces, such as in a spray application.
- the aqueous fluoropolymer coating is useful in many applications, including protective and decorative coatings on metals and ceramics, as well as for the coating or impregnation of textiles, glass fibers, aramid fibers and carbon fibers.
- aqueous coating composition of the invention provides many advantages over similar solvent-based fluoropolymer coatings, including: it is more
- the aqueous coating can be dried at a lower temperature than the solvent coatings - saving time and cost; higher gloss with a 60° gloss of greater than 60, and preferably greater than 70. It is believed that the higher gloss is related to the polymer particle size in the dispersion being less than in the solvent-based coating compositions.

Pro300P homogenizer using a 30mm x 150mm open slotted PRO generator probe with a Mason jar attachment loaded with sample volumes of 150ml, at 25°C. It is noted that while many fluoropolymers are available as a stable latex, they shear- coagulate at high shear rates - due in part to larger particle size.

- Inorganic pigments which may be used alone or in combination with titanium dioxide include, for example, silica, iron oxides of various colors, cadmiums, lead titanate, and various silicates, for example, talc, diatomaceous earth, asbestos, mica, clay, and basic lead silicate.
- Pigments which may be used in combination with titanium dioxide include, for example, zinc oxide, zinc sulfide, zirconium oxide, white lead, carbon black, lead chromate, leafing and non-leafing metallic pigments, molybdate orange, calcium carbonate and barium sulfate.

For applications where a white coating is desired, a non- chalking, non-yellowing rutile-type of titanium dioxide is recommended. Lithopones and the like are inadequate, as they suffer from lack of chalk resistance and/or from inadequate hiding. Anastase T1O2 is similarly not recommended.
- the pigment component when present, is advantageously present in the composition in the amount of from about 0.1 to about 50 parts by weight per 100 parts of polymer solids (fluoropolymer plus acrylic polymer). While for most applications the preferred range is from about 25 to about 35 parts by weight pigment per 100 parts of resin component, for white and light colored pigment the amount of pigment is generally in the higher ranges of the preferred amount, and may be as high as 35 parts by weight per 100 parts of resin component or higher. Solid, non-porous coatings will have a lower percentage of pigment to polymer, while porous coatings may have higher ratios of pigment to polymer binders.

- a PVDF dispersion is formed (preferably without any fluorosurfactant) and a predetermined amount of any anti-settling agent(s) or surfactant(s), is diluted in water and post-added to the PVDF dispersion latex with stirring, in order to provide adequate storage stability for the latex.
- To this PVDF dispersion/anti-settling mixture is added, with stirring, the acrylic emulsion, wetting agent(s), coalescent agents, followed by adding any thickener(s), adhesion promoter(s), and then bringing the pH up to the appropriate range for the thickener to be effective, if necessary.
- Some thickeners such as CMC are effective in a wide range of pH, i.e. from 3 to 9 pH for CMC.
- Other ingredients such as pigment aqueous dispersions are then added to the mixture. It may be advantageous to disperse the pigment powdery material(s) in water or wetting agent to provide wetting of the powdery materials prior to admixing with the aqueous PVDF binder formulation.
- the final composition is then subjected to a high shear mixing to ensure uniform distribution of the powdery material in the composition.

- aqueous coating of the invention could be used advantageously.
- the coating compositions are generally baked or heated to evaporate water and solvent, and coalesce the coating.
- the heating temperatures will range from about 125° to about 300°C, preferably from about 175° to about 220°C.
- adherence of the polymer film formed on drying the coating compositions to the substrate is normally more than adequate, increased adhesion may be obtained by first priming the substrate surface with a compatible coating layer.
- a preferred primer layer is described in U.S. Patent 3,111,426 that is an epoxy based primer. More generally, acrylic based primers such as described in U.S. Patent 3,526,532 and the primers of U.S.
- Patent 4,179,542 based on mixtures of partially fluorinated halogenated ethylene polymers, epoxy resins, powdered metallic pigments and wet ground mica are also useful on metals.

- the aqueous coating composition of the invention has an advantage in processing, in that water has a boiling point lower than the commonly used solvents for PVDF, and thus can be dried faster, or at a lower temperature than solvent PVDF compositions, and lower than compositions containing PTFE. Process temperatures of 200°C or less, 150°C or less, 120°C or less, and result in a crack free continuous film.
- composition of the acrylic polymer further provides excellent long-term stability of the PVDF/acrylic mixture.

- coated fabric is for architectural structures - awnings, tents, and domes.
- PTFE is used to coat fabrics, to provide a weather-resistant, flexible material.
- PVDF coatings can be formed at much lower temperatures than PTFE coatings. Also, since PVDF is less dense than PTFE, the resulting structure having the same coating thickness will be lighter and easier to support.
- VDF polymerization rate was adjusted to obtain and maintain a final VDF polymerization rate of roughly 70 pounds per hour.
- the VDF homopolymerization was continued until approximately 150 pounds VDF was introduced in the reaction mass.
- the VDF feed was stopped and the batch was allowed to react-out at the reaction temperature to consume residual monomer at decreasing pressure.
- the agitation was stopped and the reactor was cooled, vented and the latex recovered.

- each of the coating compositions was prepared by combining the ingredients listed in Table 1. Each of the compositions were then cast on chromated aluminum AA3003 panels (4" x 12"). The coated panels were cured by baking for 10 minutes at 220°C followed air cooled (the comparative example 2 was baked at 120°C for 10 minutes though as a phase separation will occur at high temperature baking. 120°C is the highest temperature that this latex product can stand). The coatings were then evaluated for film appearance, adhesion, gloss, MEK resistance and hot dirt pick up resistance.
- the adhesion was evaluated using ASTM D3359 Crosshatch method by applying and removing pressure- sensitive tape over cuts made in the film. Each panel was crosshatched with a PAT crosshatcher. Eleven parallel cuts were made one-tenth of an inch apart followed by parallel cuts one-tenth of an inch apart, perpendicular to and on top of the first set. The crosshatched area was then tested for pick-off of the coating using #99 PERMACEL Tape. The adhesion was reported with the number of squares remaining in the scribed area. The higher the number, the better the adhesion was. For example, 100% means no pick-off of coating and 0% means all film was picked off.
- the gloss was read using a HunterLab ProGloss 3 (Geometry 60°).
- aqueous slurry of iron oxide pigment was applied over the coating surface and allowed to dry 2 hrs at 70°C followed by 2 hrs cooling at room temperature.
- the dry iron oxide was then rinsed off of the paint with water and light wiping with a piece of wet cheesecloth.
- the panels were cleaned until no more iron oxide was being picked up by the cheesecloth, then the color difference (Delta E) was read between the area coated with the iron oxide slurry and a control area with no iron oxide slurry. In this test, larger Delta E numbers indicate that more iron oxide pigment is left on the surface of the paint.
- MEK resistance test was determined according to ASTM D4752 and NCCA
- the method involves rubbing the surface of a baked film with cheesecloth soaked with MEK until failure or breakthrough of the film occurs.
- the MEK resistance is characterized with the number of Taber cycles required for the coating to wear away to the substrate. The higher the number is, the better the MEK resistance the coating has.
- the invention is demonstrated with working example 1 and comparative examples 2-4 as listed Table 1.
- the comparative example 1 is an aqueous composition which is formulated with classic PVDF latex having an average particle size larger than 250 nm.
- the comparative example 2 is an aqueous composition formulated with Kynar Aquatec ARC, a PVDF/acrylic hybrid latex.
- the comparative example 3 is a solvent based PVDF dispersion coating. All the four formulations have the same PVDF and acrylic ratio of 70:30.
- the stable aqueous fluoropolymer coating composition as shown in the working example 1 provides coatings with higher gloss levels than conventional solvent based PVDF/acrylic blended paint systems as shown in the comparative example 3.
- the film formation of the aqueous coating of the present invention where the particle size of fluoropolymer emulsion is less than 200 nm is much better than the aqueous coating of classical PVDF emulsions having particle size over than 250nm as shown in the comparative example 1 where the film is cracked.
- the MEK chemical resistance and hot dirt pick up resistance of the aqueous coatings in the working example are improved over the hybrid systems under certain formulation and baking conditions as shown in the comparative example 2.

- the dry adhesion was evaluated using ASTM D3359 Crosshatch method by applying and removing pressure- sensitive tape over cuts made in the film. Each panel was crosshatched with a PAT crosshatcher. Eleven parallel cuts were made one-tenth of an inch apart followed by parallel cuts one-tenth of an inch apart, perpendicular to and on top of the first set. The crosshatched area was then tested for pick-off of the coating using #99 Permacel Tape. The adhesion was reported with the number of squares remaining in the scribed area.

- the key property to differentiate the performance of coatings in working examples 2 to 5 and comparative examples 4 to 5 is the color of the final coatings. In case of working examples 2 to 5, the color of the coatings is transparent. On the other hands, coatings in comparative examples 4 and 5 show a yellow appearance. Good coatings require transparent appearance.
- the acrylic emulsion recipe with the right choice of surfactants determine the color of the final coatings.
- the surfactant choice of the acrylic emulsion recipes in examples Al to A4 emulsion is able to provide the final coatings with transparent appearance while the surfactant choice of the acrylic emulsion recipes in examples A5 to A6 emulsion is not able to do so.
- Formulations in comparative examples 4 to 5 show 98% wet adhesion, followed by formulations in working example 4 that shows 70% wet adhesion. Formulations in working examples 2, 3 and 5 only show 10% wet adhesion.
- This difference in wet adhesion is due to the choice of surfactants (in case of comparative example 4 to 5) and molecular weight (in case of working example 4) in the acrylic emulsion part of the formulations.
- the surfactant choice in examples A5 and A6 emulsion can provide the best wet adhesion but very poor film appearance (yellow). In coating applications, film appearance remains the highest priority.
